Some result that we came from behind twice and went on to win, and that can't have happened often in the PL if ever. Well not securing safety that's a big step towards it, and we sounded like a different team 2nd half, I missed the 1st but it doesn't seem that I missed much. 3 goals in the space of ...

tiger76

Big 10 minutes, this would be a huge 3 points if we see it out, or even nab another. What a 2nd half definitely a game of two halves.

tiger76

Great character to come back a 2nd time, now let's make sure we get at least a point if not all 3, pleased for Dwight to bag, he's looked back to his best in the past couple of games, and that goal will do him a world of good, whether he meant it or not they all count.

All that hard work wasted by giving Grealish space. Will we ever learn?

Well! we get a warning just minutes before and didn't heed it, and that's what happens when you stand off quality players.

Grealish is top 5 in the Prem, how is he still playing for these lot?

They'll struggle to keep hold of him this summer.

Bother 1-2 that Wood miss could be costly

Bugger - forgot to do it!

I did post a reminder last night, TBF it was late notice due to the Bournemouth game being delayed.

would we take a draw?

Well I would I need the points on Super6.

tiger76

no one has started this thread yet, so here goes I think we'll take something, but we'll have to score, so I'll call a 1-1 draw, the last few games have been tight between the sides, and tomorrow will be no exception.

tiger76

Bumping this to remind players there's a midweek round tomorrow, entries by 6PM.

That Bournemouth win gave me a couple of points, making 13 for the round, better than normal this season, I've clambered into the top 50 in the UTC league eventually.

Before this thread starts going OT, I can only surmise that Kev Long being so advanced showed our confidence, and he certainly took it well, good to see us being clinical for once and not just sitting on a lead, but by goodness Fulham were awful, and 3-0 didn't flatter us at all.

tiger76

Quite right, must be a terrible manager to be losing 5 - 0 to City ..... oh, hang on a moment ! :oops: :oops: It's not just City though, they've shipped goals for fun all season, and even the appointment of BFS hasn't improved this fact, thumped 3-0 by Villa, 5-0 by Leeds and 4-0 by Arsenal, and th...

Wow! these stats are frightening for West Brom if true, taken from the BBC text feed so if they're wrong don't blame me, but they have had a lot of doings this campaign, reminds of the Coyle/Laws season when you needed an abacus at some of our matches. 4th time this season West Brom have concede fiv...

I cant see West Brom going down tbh...

I'm curious based on what exactly tim, they have 2 wins out of 20, and are leaking goals like a sieve, and unlike Sam's previous roles they don't have the money to spend their way out of trouble.

tiger76

Cheltenham gave City more of a game than West Brom have tonight, I do wonder if Bilic will have a wry smile on his face watching this.

BTW heading for 4 away wins in the PL in tonight's games, hope that's not an omen for tomorrow.

tiger76

I think people also forget Leicesters run to stay up in 2014/15 That's rare though for teams to hit such a purple patch, and can you really see any of the bottom 3 hitting that level of form. To put it into perspective we've amassed 9 points in our last 6 games, and yet many feel we're in poor form...

tiger76

What I mean is Benitez is unlikely to make much difference. Perhaps not, but they'll have to make a change soon if results don't turn, whether it's Benitez or someone else, otherwise they're in severe danger of going down. As a Burnley fan I'm more than happy for Bruce to continue in post, and I st...

I really can't see any of the bottom 3 catching us.

Us no, Brighton or Newcastle possibly, but if any of the bottom 3 are going to get out of trouble they'll need to start stringing a couple of results together, and on the evidence thus far that's looks beyond all 3 of them.

tiger76

Bruce has a better PL record as Newcastle manager than Benitez. Maybe but their recent form is 2 points out of a possible 27, and not many PL managers survive slumps like that. What would worry me as a Newcastle fan is they seem to have lost their fight, and in a relegation battle that is crucial f...

tiger76

3-2 now at Palace, but that late goal no use to the Eagles, another win for West Ham, they are having an incredible run under Moyes, and it just shows why fans and owners should give managers a real chance to implement their style on a club, instead of the revolving door strategy which many seem to ...

tiger76

Presumably they’ll just go in to Admin, the debt holders can whistle and a rich Sheikh buys them out? Do fear that the current crisis, with the big clubs taking on more and more debt to survive will lead to the super league type of structural changes though, which I don’t support. A club of Barca's...

tiger76

I have NEVER liked him. A complete two *** ! I hope he takes Newcastle down this season Don't particularly mind who goes down as long as it's not us, but Newcastle are sinking rapidly, and it's only the fact that none of the bottom 3 can string a run of results together that's keeping them afloat A...

Some startling figures and information coming out of Barcelona tonight. Debt - 1.173 billion euros.... one thousand, one hundred, and seventy three million euros. Insane. Urgent Debt 700 million euros They owe 196m euros in outstanding transfer fees, including 40m to Liverpool for Coutinho Players ...

Can't recall the last time I've been as relaxed as I was yesterday with still 10 mins. to go. Got very greedy though as my attention turned to keeping a clean sheet. I expected a dour type of game with so many changes and the state of their pitch but we attacked from the off and the scoreline did r...

Happy birthday to the womanising old chap!

Yes by all accounts he was a bit of a lad in his day.

Why oh why do people think anyone other than Barnes and Wood will start up front? Come on,you should all know the stubbornness drill by now . ! I suspect SD will start both, but Jay's showing at the weekend must be giving him a dilemma, personally I'd start Jay & Wood, I know the latter is badly ou...

Lower league teams always seem to concede a few in the last ten minutes against PL sides. I wonder if it’s fitness and concentration or just the quality of subs that can be brought on. A combination of all 3 I suppose. I was wondering the same thing, it certainly helps when you can bring on subs of...

I tuned in with 5 minutes to go and it was 1-1 and thought good on yer Wycombe. It's finished 4-1 !!!! So hard to take for Wycombe. 4-1 is flattering I admit, but Tottenham deserved to win the game, is it their year, after all the year does end in one, a Burnley-Spurs final now that would bring bac...

tiger76

3-1 is about right on the balance of play, but Spurs have made hard work of this tie, and it's taken the subs to win them the game.

tiger76

Credit to Wycombe they've forced Jose to introduce Kane & Son to prevent this tie going to ET, whatever happens now they've pushed Spurs all the way and for that alone they can be proud.

tiger76

Come on Wycombe the more big boys that go out early the better for us.

Still think Spurs will come back and win, but Jose might have to turn to his bench, he has got a couple of decent subs in the form of Kane & Son to bring on.

tiger76

Bloody hell, I've just been reading in the paper about how a new banner was unfurled at the Bridge yesterday saying "In Frank we trust. Then. Now. Forever." Hope the fans responsible didn't pay too much for it. :lol: Yes I saw that on the telly, it seems harsh considering they're still in the CL, a...

tiger76

Good win for England in the end, and as others have commented these 2 games will do the squad no harm ahead of the daunting trip to India. I didn't expect the match to finish in 4 days this morning, but once again SL collapsed with the bat, and despite a few wobbles, Sibley & Buttler got England ove...

It was episode 5 of 8 tonight. I'm not saying it's the best acting I've ever seen but every episode so far has me a little nervous and edgy. I enjoyed it tonight though. Tonight was good, I somehow suspected there would be a twist when they were arrested, purely due to the fact there's still anothe...

And people say the cup isn’t what it was - look at this thread. The win today has changed the outlook of our season Well! it's certainly provided a much needed fillip for me, yes obviously our PL status is key, but if we can get past I assume Bournemouth then we'll be only 1 game from Wembley, if t...

tiger76

Is it too early too say Liverpool are in crisis, they certainly have problems mounting by the week, a big win for Ole and United, possibly undeserved on the balance of play, but if you don't take your chances the sucker punch is always on the cards, cracking game for the neutral I have too say.

Not a bad call RCC, you almost got it spot on.

I think the thread title needs amending to it could be a very good week, it couldn't have gone any better if we had written it ourselves. A famous victory at Anfield, ending Liverpool's unbeaten streak. Then Newcastle getting drubbed again, and ensuring we moved above them. And finally a comprehensi...

Delighted Boro got beat,can't do with Colin W@nker one bit.. Rather have Rovers up than Boro.

I only support two teams, Burnley and whoever's playing Rovers, now go and wash your mouth out

I doubt either will make the top 6 anyway so it's a moot point.

tiger76

Let's not count our chickens just yet, we've still got to make sure we're in the draw first.

tiger76

Not a bad way to end a strong week, I think we've only reached the 5th round once previously under SD, and we all know how that ended, however we've got a home tie against a lower league team no matter who we face, and this is a great chance to make the last 8 at the very least, after that who knows...

We are better with Jay and Cork in the team. Of the XI who started today those two have made the biggest case for starting against Villa, they both showed today exactly what we've been missing this season, now whether their match fitness is up to a tough 90 minutes against Villa is for the gaffer a...

Against Villa Dyche must drop Barnes for Rodriguez Hmm! not sure about that, why would he drop the guy who won and converted the winning penalty at Anfield, if he's going to change anyone in the forward line I'd suggest it should be Wood, but I do agree we should try and found a place for Jay again...

1-0 Liverpool Salah.

1-1 now classy finish by Greenwood, after a great ball from Rashford.

Good game this. as you'd expect between these two.

Can only be Jay after that display.

2-0 Utd.

Nobody can complain about the effort (and pace) being shown by Vydra Interesting to see his player ratings from certain people on here later He's played well, as they all have, however the standout performer has to be Jay, and the MOTM vote should be an easy choice. 2 goals and an assist, that's wh...

Not having a go at all

Just seemed soft

Would have rather he took the pen and scored

I'd love Vydra to score as much as anyone, but he missed in the MK Dons shootout, and the team has too come first, Jay took it and dispatched it well too hopefully put this game too bed.

tiger76

Blimey 2 pens in the space of 4 days, Jay on a HT, and that should be enough to book a 5th round berth, been a pretty good few days for the Clarets.

tiger76

Leicester 2-1 ahead now, I suspect they got a rocket from Brenda at HT.
